Our flight from HCM to Hanoi was delayed for almost 5 hours.  It ended up leaving at 2:45 in the morning.  A lot of people slept.  Here are some photos of some Vietnamese taking a nap before our late departure..

The summary of my vacation here in asia from BKK to Vietnam and more adventures in the future..

One moon ago, I joined this site with a hope that it could help me with my travelling. I was in for a treat. A bunch of travellers, most of them girls decided to meet up to celebrate Christmas Eve, in Saigon, Vietnam. It started with all civilised manner then it all changed after a couple of beers …

I had 3 different beers already; Tiger, Saigon and La Rue in respective order (one at arrival in Pham Ngu lao, breakfast then late lunch), no wonder i'm feeling a bit woozy while typing this blog.From the airport I thought i would be able to take bus 512 (i think) to Pham Ngu Lao but that would be…

I love this place!

The day before disembarking in Vietnam we discovered that it was going to be quite a chore to get into Saigon. We actually docked the boat outside of Vung Tao, which is south of Saigon and as the river there is not very deep we had to use the tenders to go from the ship to the port and then take a …

a blog full of hallucinations, useless information, and a life that is crazier than the nomad herself. it is here where you will find news about me as i'm currently back on the road, air, whatever. detailed stories with tons of pictures plus very unhelpful tips will be made some time around... hmmm well not soon and not on this blog.

Stores, hotels and restaurants are putting Christmas tree up, snowman, Santa Claus and his raindeers are being decorated in and outside of some big  department stores. The traffic which is already busy, is now getting much more busier. Walking around Le Loi and Nguyen Hue and Dong Khoi streets…

My final full day in Saigon.  A city in many ways unexpected to me that I have quickly grown to appreciate.  Mostly fast-paced neon, wire and traffic drenched charms.  But charms to me on this occasion nevertheless.  Following the events of the last two days it is a rare occasio…

My second Vietnamese visit takes me to the capital, the much fabled city formerly known as Saigon.  Ho Chi Minh is the largest city in Vietnam. Known as Prey Nokor, a city in Cambodia, before being annexed by the Vietnamese in the 1700s, it was the most important commercial seaport to the Khme…

"Don't you get lonely travelling on your own?" asks Plain Jane from the other side of the restaurant table. She's one of three German girls on our Mekong Delta tour whose names I haven't bothered to ask; I'll only forget. Anyway, they'll be out of my life forever by to…

***English version to come soon***Vandaag met Carlos de stad verkend. Ho Chi Minh is niet zon plaats waar het gezellig rondkuieren is (behalve dan snachts want dan maken al die lichtjes en de verkeersdrukte het wel heel speciaal) maar er zijn wel enkele dingen die je gezien moet hebben.We zijn onze…

Saigon was definitly my favourite city, the hostel where we stayed was clean and well run, it actually had a decent view from the roof (I would say check with someone to make sure you're actully allowed on the roof). The night markets were fantastic and the designer knock offs are top notch! Th…

After a 5-hour bus ride, I’m back in Saigon.  We were dropped off at Sinh Café, near where I checked in.  Rested for a minute and I was out again in the streets of Pham Ngu Lao.   Hungry, I opted for some Vietnamese food.  I was drooling for Vietnam’s most famous di…

My travels in Vietnam started ofcourse by leaving Cambodia - and that was something I surely didn't like. I had a few wonderful last days in Phnom Penh - and a hell of a goodbye party! Such a good party that I actually strained my ankle at some club and when I had to leave for the bus to Saigon it …
